The slowdown is over. The bad times made us rethink a lot. As a result we're
seeing lots of innovations throughout. We expect this cycle of innovations
will continue for at least one more year and we will see some pathbreaking
products and technologies in near future.
Interface, for instance, this year has witnessed lots of happenings. The
first OS with multi-touch has publicly released making it a mainstream
technology. Gesture based interfaces and controller based gaming is something
which we are expecting to become mainstream by next year.
Likewise video/imaging and printing is also seeing a lot of innovations. The
natural 3D viewing with the need of any additional device is something which
might just change the way we look at displays and printouts. Just imagine how
powerful an ad campaign could be if it is broadcast on television which is in
full 3D. Everyone can watch it naturally with a 3D spectacles, etc.
In the pages to follow, we have taken eight such hot areas of IT. We have
talked about the latest in the respective domains including how they are going
to change in coming years.
Apart from that, you will also find what top five research labs in India are
up to and what they think are going to change the world in the near future.
